“Ash vs Evil Dead” will feature Bruce Campbell as Ash. Lucy Lawless will join-in as Ruby, a woman that thinks Ash being present during evil-summonings isn’t just a coincidence, but thinks he may be the reason behind them.

Craig DiGregorio was the original power behind the film franchise, he will return as an executive producer. Sam and Ivan Raimi are directing the first episode to hook-fans, this marks the first teaser-trailer released by the network to promote the film.
